Eve of Destiny (Laylatul Qadr) is the
night, which is the most blessed and excellent of all
nights. A prayer during this night is superior to the
prayer of a thousand months. The destiny for the year is
decided on this night. The Angels and Roohul Ameen (a
highly dignified Angel) descend on this earth, with the
permission of Allah (swt) & call on the
Imam of the time,
and what is ordained (by Allah) for everybody is
presented before the Imam.

1. Take aGhuslpreferably near
sunset time (wudhu also required) and Give/pre arrange
for
Sadqa/Charity
tonight.

It is reported from the
Prophet (pbuh) that by the time the reciter will rise
from his place Allah (swt) will have forgiven him and
his parents. Try to first bereally repentant for serious
mistakes done, sincerely ask for forgiveness either by:
(a) recalling
70 different sins OR
(b) feeling remorseful for
10 sins of the 7 main
organs: eyes, ears, tongue, hands, mouth, stomach +
private parts OR (c) some
particular
sinsthat you may have committed
repeatedly OR (d) recalling the variety of punishments
of different sins and finally resolve NOT TO Repeat them
in the future, then only can one realistically expect to
deserve the reward the Holy Prophet has promised “Whoever performs
this act will surely be forgiven by the Almighty even
before here rises from his place".

4.
TheHoly Qur'an should be opened and placed in front,
then one should recite as under:

When opening
the qur’an and praying for your needs with the
intercession of the qur’an, realize that while the
qur’an is a cure for spiritual illness, it only benefits
the pious ones and the evil doers are deprived of its
illumination. Thus increase the chances for qur’an
intercession to work on your behalf by earnestly
following the rulings of the qur’an.

O Allah , in the name of this
Holy Book sent by Thee, whatever there be in the
Book. Including Ism-e-A'azam and Asmaa-e-Husnaa and
the things to be dreaded, the things that may be
expected and desired,( like blessings of Heaven).
treat me as one of those who are free from Hell fire

Place
the Holy Qur'an on ones head and say, While placing
the qur’an on the head. Remind yourself that true
salvation can only be achieved by always keeping the
rules of qur’an ahead of us to follow. The fact that we
put the Qur’an on our head is a sign of respect and
reverence. We beseech Allah by the thaqalayn - the
speaking and the silent Qur'an. - Holy Qur'an (39:56)
Pray for Aql/Intelligence to be Kamil ( complete) ,it is
Kashe (submits) to quran & acquires Noor ( light) from
it.

O Allah! I appeal to Thee in the name
of this Qur'an and the Rooh that was sent along with it,
and in the name of the Momin (believer) whose praise is
contained in this Book and The obligation that is on
them. No one else recognizes the right and truth more
than Thee

5. Recite the Ziarat of Imam Hussain (A.S.).
According to Hadith, during Lailat-e-Qadr an angel
proclaims from the Arsh (throne) on the Seventh sky that
Allah has forgiven who have visited the grave of Imam Hussain (as).

While
performing Ziyarah of Imam Hussain (as), remind yourself
that on this night, the souls of 124,000 Prophets (peace
be upon them all) visit Imam, who is aware of our inner
spiritual reality and is hurt and repulsed by our record
of repeated evil deeds, indifference to God’s
commandments; thus, we should avoid disgracing ourselves
in that great audience of Imam. Also, associate the
themes in the ZIYARAH of: - Firm bond of love and
obedience of God (SALAT). -Economic betterment of
community (ZAKAT). -Overall mobilization of forces
towards virtue (AMR BIL MA`RUF).
-Overall cleansing of evil from society.
-All-out war in all spheres of life to promote
truth (JIHAD). -Tremendous endurance of all ensuing
difficulties (SABR). -Complete distancing (LA`NAH) from
all forms of injustice (DHULM) with destiny- shaping
opportunity of this night and resolve to
become on active player in improving the future in
preparation for the REAPPEARANCE OF AL-MAHDI.

7. Pray for others - Think of the many people all
over the world who are in great difficulty & pray for
them . He accepts

8. Keep awake the whole night. Ensure that you
dont doze /nap at all. It has been reported that whoever
keeps awake during Laylatul Qadr will have all his sins
forgiven even if they number the stars in the sky, the
stones in the mountains and are of the quantity of water
in the seas.

13.Allama
Majlisi has stated that the best prayer during these
nights is to seek forgiveness
and seek ones wishes for this world and the hereafter
and recite as much
salwaat as
possible. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) was asked what should
be sought from Allah (swt) on Laylatul Qadr and he
replied, "Health".

14. Recite a hundred rakats and it is preferable
that in each rakat after the recitation of Sura Fatiha, Sura Ikhlaas be
recited ten times.(It can be recited as 6 day salat if
someone has Qaza or sitting )

So,
(please do) send blessings to Muhammad
and the Household of Muhammad

Alternate
Translation :I have passed the
evening as a very humble servant of
Thee. I have no control over the gains
and losses for my person. I cannot
remove any evil from myself. I depose
against my conscience. I admit my
weakness and inability of managing my
affairs. Bestow Thy blessings on
Mohammad (saw.) and his Family. Whatever
Thou hast given me or promised, fulfill
that. Verily! I am Thy humble, weak and
destitute servant. O Allah! Let me not
forget the blessings that Thou hast
bestowed on me, and let me not be
forgetful about Thy kindness. Do not
deny me Thy acceptance though it may be
delayed, may it pertain to sorrow or
happiness, and may it be connected with
peace and tranquility or hardship and
vicissitudes or pertaining to blessings.
Thou hears and accepts invocations in
every condition.

In surah AL
Qadr Allah (swt) clearly states: "Surely We revealed it
(the Holy Qur'an) on the grand night. And what will
make you comprehend what the grand night. The grand
night is better than a thousand months. The angels and
Gabriel descend in it by the permission of their Lord
for every affair, Peace! It is till the break of the
morning." (97:1-5)

Allah (swt) is
inviting all the believers for a Divine feast; the
invitation which has been brought by the messengers.
Allah (swt) is the host, his most favorite angels are
the servants and the believers are the guests. The table
is spread with Divine blessings containing all sorts of
rewards and favors. Though the eyes cannot see them nor
the ears hear them not the human hearts imagine them,
yet the bounties are all kept in readiness to be awarded
to the guests in accordance to her actions.

On a final note, our destiny
to large extent can be changed in this very night
and much depends on us, how we decide to utilize
both the night and the day of Qadr and for that
matter each single moment of this blessed month of
Ramadhan.

Let us
therefore pray that we may be granted the Tawfiq to be able to do the A’maals of Laylatul Qadr
in its correct essence, that we may be granted the
Maghferah and that we may earn the Pleasure of Allah
(swt) in such a manner that our lives take a
positive turn in a manner that we may earn the
salvation for both this world and the Hereafter.
Ameen

A humble
request that we remember each other in our prayers
and especially those we do not forget the oppressed
, the suffering & our Deceased.
